Given the lack of involvement in this loop, I have decided to close it.

Due to lack of contributions/interest, I have decided that it is no longer worth the effort posting. I'll see if things change in the future.

I know we aren't in Kent!

New loop - Carers and Caring

https://www.scooploop.com/loops/carers-and-caring

The time has come for the launch of our Crowdfunder campaign to raise money for the Christmas lights and make Welling look really special and festive this year! 🥳🥳

We are hoping to put Christmas lights on the lamp posts along Welling High Street, Bellegrove Road up to the Turnpike and Upper Wickham Lane and with your help, we can make this happen and make Welling feel really special this year.

Please check out our Crowdfunder page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/welling, where we have a couple of different sponsorship packages so that you get the recognition you deserve for supporting the community. We also have window/car stickers for a £10 donation, so you can show your support.

Please share the Crowdfunder link to all your friends and local businesses who you think would like to support the Welling community. There is also a printable sheet for sharing with people who prefer not to go online: https://tinyurl.com/y3ewartz

Do you want to make a difference in your community?

I am looking for people to help set up and run a community interest company in Bexley.

If you would like to be involved I’d love to hear from you.

Enthusiastic and proactive people are needed for this social enterprise to help make Bexley a digital borough. We will be helping digitally excluded groups in the borough and bringing together different organisations to work on a range of digital projects.

You don’t need any special skills, just enthusiasm and some time to spare.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop skills and learn about running a community company. Most of all you can be part of something that will help change people’s lives.

You will ideally have a few hours spare each week to dedicate to the business (homeworking is an option).

You should be available for company meetings and other events.


Any business or finance skills are a bonus (but not essential).

If you are interested or would like more information, please let me know and I’ll arrange a call.

We can help you to set up your tablet, ipad or laptop, advise you how to backup your important files, use email, Skype, Amazon and other online shops, banking, government services and lots more (the list is endless).

We can also help you with slow computers, safety advice , getting rid of annoying browser pop-ups, viruses, spyware and adware and we can show you how to clean up your computer.

Cost is £4 to cover hire of room in the community centre.

If you would like to come along message me or call 07779 481654

Urgent gas repairs are being carried out in Welling in time for the increased demand of winter.

Mains replacement works are currently taking place in Bellegrove Road at the junction of Central Avenue, scheduled to end on October 27.

A council spokesman said due to the extent of excavation required, and for safety reasons, night time works were not possible.

You only have 13 days left to spend, bank or donate your old round pound coins.

The legal tender status of the round £1 coin will be withdrawn at midnight on Sunday 15th October 2017. From this date shops will no longer accept these coins, but you will still be able to take them to your bank.
